We've had 3 red round plates chip. I thought these were supposed to be so durable

to Matt Wright---if you're still following post---I always feel like its "the emperors new clothes" (remember the old story?) when people talk about Corelle ware....The set we had chipped, shatttered into millions of tiny pointed shards when dropped....I don't know WHAT people are talking about when they say its so great. The only positive, I think, is that it is very light so if someone is arthritic or can't deal w/ heavy stoneware it would be better.

Hi Jessica - I have had my set for a while now and don't have any chips in it. It is definitely dishwasher safe.

To tell you the truth, I only used these dishes for 2 years. I was very disappointed in the way the dishes looked with the silverware marks. I didn't get any kind of satisfaction when I contacted the company. I do not use these dishes any more....I had a service for 12..... I would buy these dishes ever again!

I have had several pieces of LC for a few years now...like three years. I take care not to knock them around the kitchen, wash them carefully in the sink, etc, and have not had any trouble with chipping. Also, LC has a great warranty against manufacturing defects.

I have had mine for 3 years now and have not had a chip on any of them......love this product and that it is made in the usa and the only problem that I had is that my grandson and I were putting the plates away and he dropped it at exactly the right spot and it broke....replaced it and have not had a problem since........so I would say no they do not chip as easily as regular stoneware plates (I have had them in the past)!

Looks "real" to me. I use plastic-type utensils & clean with soapy sponge. Have had no problems with the pans chipping.

I, too, have had mine for a year or so and they have not chipped while nested. However, I would recommend either cheap washcloths between each bowl or some kind of soft, thin material to line each bowl; but even those precautions will not prevent chipping when the bowls are in use, or being hand washed. Good luck.

Solid beautiful blue. I love them. One got a tiny chip at the top. Not enough to hurt you or to throw away. But, it blue all the way through the chip.

Never chipped one. These are sturdy plates. I've owned them about 6 months. I'm impressed. They are excellent quality.

I am not sure if they are porcelain but they are good quality, used them just today, Look good for any occasion and I do not worry about chipping as I do with some of my other dishes.

They do scratch over time. I've had mine over a year. However, they still appear black. So scratches do not go deep and they still look great on the dinner table. Salad plates do chip easily due to shape. I have replaced three of the eight I purchased so far.

My color has not even begun to chip or scratch. And I've used it everyday for two seasons. But I don't put it in the dishwasher. I hand wash it.

No, I don't recall them staining. Or if they do, only a little and they clean up well. They will sustain tiny scratches from sharp knives. I consider these plates to be my "every day plates", to be used and abused by my family. I do not stress about tiny imperfections. I am happy that they don't shatter, don't get as hot in the microwave, and are basically indestructible. Good luck with your decision!

Had mine for 4 months. They are great. Very sturdy no chips. Use them in dishwasher and microwave so far no problems.

I can tell you that we're pretty hard on our dishes and these have held of well. We LOVE them. The only downside is they are heavy. I'm thinking that we've had them for almost two years now and I don't believe that we have one chip. The bowls are really a good size for cereal, fruit, etc. The salad plates are big enough to be used as dinner plates. (To be honest, if you fill the dinner plates with food -- you're eating WAY too much. :-) )

I haven't noticed any chipping yet. I had a few pieces crack when they were accidentally dropped or hit against metal sink while being washed.

My dishes came from a company in Florida(Bealls). I ordered them a couple of years ago. They were very well packed and not one dish was broken or cracked. I'm sorry your experience was different, as they are lovely dishes.
